A Silver Path

Soulscape

In the Landscape of our souls,

lies the truth of who we are.

And all the dreams that once we dreamed,

the nightmares ever lived

This realm holds every beauty

any muse ever inspired

Every mountain ever climbed,

every chasm ever bridged

The sounds of living memory

Echo through eternity

The softest croon,

the harsh words flung

And too the humble trust

of the human heart resides

With the images of lifetimes lived,

and notes of ballads sung

in the soulscape of Mankind…

The World

I feel the weight of the world today

bearing down upon me

I feel a heaviness in my heart

a desperate melencholy

Today I feeel the crying out

of a hundred thousand souls

A resounding sob, an echoed sigh

a mournful cry unfolds

I feel the world’s sadness today

a blanket of dispair

I wish I knew where to begin

to bring this world repair

So I cover it in blessed light

it forms a ball inside

I send it out on wings of love

to heal wherever shadows hide…

Dancing With The Greenman

Age old trees reach for the sky

firm and true they stand their ground

their ancient strength empowers me

sets me soaring, soul on high

and still I’m humbled by their sanctity

their quiet, honest dignity, and lo!

lo Pan! I call, lo evohe!

Spinning slow, I whisper now

to the treetops high and the moss on low

and to the presence of the Greenman

I call him to commune with me

lo horned one, blessed be.

I dance and call out, louder now

my voice rings out, lo evohe!

lo evohe, lo I-A-O,

lo evohe! lo evohe, lo I-A-O,

lo evohe! lo evohe! LO PAN!

Dreaming

Something about this life

feels so unreal

it’s like I’ve just been dreaming

All the long years

and the things that I feel

the pain that leaves me screaming

Perhaps I’m hoping

the Fates wont seal

me in this rush

careening

into nightmares

with such zeal

as to

stip away the meaning

of a life that is not real…

She

She comes to me in my dreams

On a dazzling ribbon of ice she travels

through deserts vast and forests green

She glides on ice with fiery might

Her body soft, her spirit kind

her soul my destiny

Wisdom, lo! The embodiment!

She speeds her path to set me free

With loving eyes, and gentle smile

bestow her shining light on me

All of nature strains toward her

Streaming through her kingdom

in blessed serenity

Upon a starlit hill I wait

Naked back pressed to the tree

Amid the fallen cherry blossoms

I wait for her tranquility

She is here and she is glorious

and I wonder, who is she?

She is everything, she is all consuming

She is haunting in her beauty

She is apart, and yet three

She is terrible in her wisdom

a light trembles within me

Another soul is rushing

to find it’s home with me

So she blesses me, she enters

And continues on her path

with words that set me free

Leaves me with the sacred knowledge

that she was part of me

Super-nova in my soul

My love, my life,

He waits before me

My love,

he waits before the cherry tree…
